In a closely watched court case, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has denied California Attorney General Kamala Harris and the Brady Campaign's motion to intervene in Peruta v. Gore. This court case, originating out of San Diego, California, challenged the "good cause" requirement in California's conceal carry permitting process.What this should mean is that sheriffs and police chiefs in California who are still holding on to the "good cause" requirement will now have to update their policies to reflect the court ruling. We'll see how long it takes counties such as San Francisco to comply, and then of course we'll see if additional roadblocks such as additional fees and wait times get added on to make the CCW application process more difficult. However, this is a huge victory that should be celebrated. Here in California, some of our gun rights have finally been restored. I'll be applying for my CCW as soon as possible here in San Francisco, and I'll let you know how that all goes here on my blog.Here is the motion in full: http://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2014/11/12/10-56971.pdf
